YSR detractors to bite the dust: Jagan

Ongole, Sept. 8: Stepping up his attack on Telugu Desam president, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, and others, Kadapa MP, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, said that those making false allegations against his father YSR even after his death, will be wiped out by the wrath of people.

On the sixth day of his Odarpu Yatra at Nandipalem village in Konakanamitla mandal in Prakasam on Wednesday, Mr Jagan said that they were jealous of people’s love and affection for us.

He (Mr Chandrababu) is in a delusion that he is still the chief minister and is trying to defame YSR. Mr Jagan was apparently referring to Mr Chandrababu’s allegations in Srikakulam district on Tuesday that YSR was corrupt.

He also came down heavily on a vernacular daily for its biased approach towards their family.

Referring to YSR’s six year regime, Mr Jagan said that his father was a role model for other chief ministers in the country.

“YSR always thought about people’s welfare. His tenure as chief minister was a golden period. Everyone in the state benefitted in some way or other by his schemes,” Mr Jagan said.

Alleging that some leaders were misleading the high command, the minister for mines, Mr Balineni Srinivas Reddy, said that Mr Jagan did not start the Odarpu to get the CM’s post but to console families whose kin died, either due to shock or committed suicide after YSR’s death.

Villagers of Chowtapalem obstructed Cumbam former legislator, Mr Udumula Srinivas Reddy, from sharing the dias with Mr Jagan, alleging that he had not developed their village.

Darsi MLA, Dr Buchepalli Sivaprasad Reddy, and other leaders participated in the Odarpu. Mr Jagan consoled the family of Mora Tirupati Reddy at Chinarikatla.

Meanwhile, the Odarpu is two days late as Mr Jagan is arriving six to seven hours late everywhere.

Heavy crowds attended the Odarpu in all villages and people forcibly took Mr Jagan to their villages. Women and children were seen on a largescale in the Odarpu and youngsters shouted slogans “Future CM Jagan,” in every meet; Mr Jagan evidently enjoyed this as he did not try to stop them.
